Chapter 21: The Search for the Truth

Under Xiao Wenlu's nose, so many people died so silently, Xiao Wenlu couldn't forgive himself no matter what. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He even felt that a pair of eyes in the shadows were silently watching him, mocking him.

Xiao Wenlu's eyes were red, and he suddenly raised his right hand high, his five fingers opened, and the entire palm became transparent in an instant!

With Xiao Wenlu's palm as the center, circles of white light waves spread out in all directions. Xiao Wenlu's palm seemed to have turned into a radar, and the light waves covered the surrounding area for several kilometers.

In the circle of light waves, a small black dot appeared in the southwest direction of the construction site. Xiao asked for directions and Xiao Lili swept quickly in the direction of positioning!

On the dry riverbed, in the barren grass nearly a man high, a dark figure stood motionless. Xiao asked Lu angrily and shouted, "Evil spirits are killed!" The whole person flew up, and his right palm was full of golden light, and he went straight to the top of the black shadow's head.

The black shadow raised her head, and the dim moonlight illuminated her face, and after Xiao asked for directions to see clearly, she forcibly withdrew her palm.

With long hair and a shawl, a pale face, and a pitiful appearance, who is it if it's not Gu Xiaoman?

Xiao Wenlu was angry and anxious, his palm was raised and lowered again and again, and the golden light in his palm was also released and closed. He said angrily, "Did you do it?" Why? ”

Gu Xiaoman looked at him with tears in his eyes, but he didn't speak.

"Did you do it?!" Xiao Wenlu roared angrily.

"It's not her." Xiao Lili, who was on the side, suddenly spoke. "She's not that good yet."

Xiao Wenlu's raised hand was finally lowered. He asked, "Who killed you?" Was it you who killed Liu Mingming that day? ”

Gu Xiaoman lowered his head with a guilty face. After a while, she said faintly: "Save me." ”

Xiao asked Lu Hurried: "Is that child?" ”

Gu Xiaoman nodded, his eyes extremely frightened.

What kind of evil spirit is it that makes people who are already dead so afraid?

Gu Xiaoman suddenly screamed in pain and knelt on the ground. Xiao Wenlu hurriedly squatted down to support her, only to see that mud was constantly pouring out from the corners of her eyes, nostrils, and mouth!

Gu Xiaoman was in great pain, looked at Xiao for directions with a pleading look, and said vaguely, "Save ...... Help me......"

"He's coming!" Xiao Lili suddenly shouted.

Xiao Wenlu immediately stood up, only to see a child's figure standing under the damaged bridge pier not far away!

Xiao Wenlu was on full alert, and suddenly felt a chill under his feet. He looked down and saw that Gu Xiaoman, who was originally lying at his feet, was stretching out his hands and grabbing his calves hard! Gu Xiaoman's nails were full of black mud, and his nails were sharp and long, which directly pierced Xiao Wenlu's pants and plunged into Xiao Wenlu's flesh. Xiao Wenlu was shocked, but he didn't feel pain!

Not far away, the little boy standing in the dark suddenly moved his arm. Gu Xiaoman raised her head suddenly, her face was covered in mud, and only one eye was exposed. She opened her mouth and smiled "ho" and "ho". Suddenly, a black tongue sticks out of her gaping mouth and pokes straight into Xiao Wenlu's face!

The tongue stained with black mud stopped only a few centimeters away from Xiao Wenlu's face, and then slowly retracted into Gu Xiaoman's mouth. I saw that the mud on Gu Xiaoman's face gradually disappeared, and his hideous expression returned to normal. Tears rolled down Gu Xiaoman's eyes, and she begged, "Please, save me......"

Xiao Wenlu's fingers were pressed against Gu Xiaoman's eyebrows in the shape of flowers, and golden light was placed on his fingertips. The golden light brightened Gu Xiaoman's sad expression, and also reflected Xiao Wenlu's painful expression.

"Go ahead, in the next life, and spend your life in peace." Xiao Wenlu couldn't bear to close his eyes. The golden light on his fingertips suddenly became extremely dazzling, and Gu Xiaoman's body gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared into the air. At the moment when she left, Xiao Wenlu heard a tender "thank you".

After Gu Xiaoman's soul returned to Yincao, Xiao Wenlu's eyes suddenly became violent and fierce. He stared sharply at the little boy standing not far away, and walked towards him step by step.

Suddenly, Xiao Wenlu felt something cold and sticky fall on top of his head. He reached out and touched it, and when he saw it, it was a drop of cement!

Xiao Wenlu raised his head, more and more cement fell from the sky, and it rained cement in the sky!

Such an unbelievable thing Xiao Wenlu has never encountered before. This strange cement rain became heavier and heavier, and after a while, Xiao Wenlu's whole body was covered with cement, and he had to wipe off the cement that fell on his face, if he waited for the cement to solidify on his face, it would be troublesome.

Xiao Wenlu suddenly remembered what Zhou Limin said: "She was covered in mud at that time!" "And just now, the mud that flowed out of the corners of Gu Xiaoman's eyes and mouth, could it be that it was also cement?!

Why is this little boy's ghost so obsessed with cement?

As if seeing through Xiao's thoughts, the little boy turned around and walked towards the pier that had been knocked out of the crack, and in front of the crack, the little boy's figure suddenly disappeared.

The little boy's move was undoubtedly a message to Xiao asking for directions. Xiao Wenlu chased after him without hesitation, put his hand on the bridge pier, and put his hand down with a frown for a while. He looked at Xiao Lili, and Xiao Lili also shook his head.

None of them felt any ghostly energy. The little boy's ghost is gone again!

Xiao asked for directions and became more and more unable to figure it out. This little boy is powerful, they have already seen it with their own eyes: not only can they kill so many people silently under Xiao Wenlu's nose, but they can also hide the ghost qi on their bodies at will, so that they can't track it. Such a powerful evil spirit, it is said that he will not be afraid of Xiao Wenlu father and son, but looking at him today, it seems that he intends to avoid a head-on conflict with them, why is this?

Xiao Wenlu remembered the bloody words on the wall of the workers' dormitory: "This bridge is ominous, and those who approach the bridge die!" "This blood letter was obviously written by this little boy, why did he write these words? And why not let people get close to the bridge?

There are too many mysteries, and since they can't get answers from the mouth of this evil spirit, they can only rely on themselves to find the answers. Xiao asked for directions and greeted: "Grains, go!" Let's check the background of this bridge! “

The pickup truck sped away towards the home. As soon as he entered the house, Xiao Wenlu immediately turned on the computer and searched for information about "Lihuanqiao" on the Internet.

There is not much information about the ring bridge on the Internet, nothing more than some news reports about disputes among surrounding residents, and the news that the city government has recently renovated the environment next to the bridge and is preparing to develop real estate.

Xiao Wenlu clicked on every link and read it, most of them were useless information, but one of the news interviews caught his attention. It was a few years ago, a reporter from a daily newspaper in the city interviewed Zhao Qingsheng, the general manager of the "Tenth Five-Year Engineering Bureau", and there was a paragraph in the interview mentioning the Lihuan Bridge. It turned out that the ring bridge was originally built by the "Tenth Five-Year Engineering Bureau", and Zhao Qingsheng was only the captain in charge of construction at that time. At that time, some unexpected obstacles were encountered in the process of building the bridge, which led to a serious delay in the construction progress, but fortunately, Zhao Qingsheng solved these problems in time, and the bridge construction work was able to continue smoothly. Zhao Qingsheng also became famous because of this, and since then he has risen steadily, and finally sat in the position of general manager of the "Tenth Five-Year Engineering Bureau".

In the report, Zhao Qingsheng was very proud of this incident back then. The small layout is also accompanied by a photo of Zhao Qingsheng, on which he has a square head and a big face, a fat figure, and a shiny face, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a person from a construction background.

This seemingly ordinary press release, Xiao Wenlu always felt that something was wrong. His attention was focused on the words "unexpected obstacles", and he vaguely felt that behind these vague words, there might be key information hidden.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind. Cement! So far, all the weirdness is related to cement, whether it is the tragic appearance of Gu Xiaoman covered in cement when he died, or the cement rain that fell from the sky, and the bridge pier made of cement, all of which are inseparable from cement!

Unexpected Obstacles...... Cement...... Pier......

A thunderbolt sounded in Xiao Wenlu's head. He got up abruptly and ran out of the door, but unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, there was a person standing outside the door!

I saw a young man in a police uniform standing outside the door. He handed Xiao Wenlu a police officer card with the words "Xie Rui of the Outer Ring Public Security Bureau" written on it.

The policeman named Xie Rui asked with a serious face, "Are you Xiao asking for directions?" “

Xiao Wenlu nodded calmly. It was the police who came, which was not surprising to him. There was such a big murder under the Lihuan Bridge, Xiao Wenlu and Xiao Lili kept appearing at the scene in the past two days, and after the police investigated, they would come to the door sooner or later. It's just that Xiao Wenlu didn't expect them to come so quickly, and now it's only a few hours before the tragedy in the Lihuanqiao dormitory.

Xie Rui said: "I'm Xie Rui, a police officer of the Outer Ring Public Security Bureau, did you see my police officer card just now?" Now there is a case, and we would like to ask for your assistance in the investigation, and we ask for your cooperation. Although the volume is not high, it exudes an irresistible majesty.

Xiao Wenlu smiled faintly: "No problem." Then he got into Xie Rui's police car and roared towards the police station.

In the makeshift interrogation room, Xiao Wenlu and Xie Rui sat opposite each other at a table. Xie Rui pointed to a few pieces of paper on the table and said, "This is you, right?" “

Those few pieces of paper looked like black-and-white photos printed out of surveillance footage. In the photo, Xiao Wenlu and Xiao Lili are gesturing to the air on the riverbed under the Lihuan Bridge and at the door of the workers' dormitory, their expressions are particularly rich, as if they are acting in a drama.

Xiao asked for directions and nodded: "That's right, it's me." “

"Who's that little boy?"

"It's my son."

"That's right, just a few hours ago, there was a serious murder in the dormitory of the '15th Engineering Bureau' under the ring bridge, which is the surveillance video we collected at the scene. Since you admit that you are the one who was captured by the surveillance, please explain why you are there! "Xie Ruiren is as his name suggests, his eyes are extremely sharp. Although he was not aggressive, the stern tone still formed a powerful aura of compelling.

However, his momentum could not intimidate Xiao Wenwen. Xiao Wenlu said lightly: "A friend of mine passed away a few days ago, and my son and I went there to mourn her. “

Xie Rui's two thick eyebrows furrowed: "Please make it clear, what friend?" Why do you want to go there to mourn? “

"You must know Gu Xiaoman, right?" Xiao Wenlu said as he carefully observed Xie Rui's reaction.

Xie Rui was really surprised: "Of course I know that someone found her body under the standing ring bridge a few days ago, and I was the first police officer to arrive at the scene at that time. “

"The friend I just mentioned is her. My son and I went there just to honor her. “

Xie Rui obviously regarded Xiao Wenlu as a major suspect, and was obviously suspicious of what he said. He looked suspicious as he took notes on a laptop. Finally, he asked, "Are you not a local?" “

Xiao asked for directions and shook his head.

"Where is your hometown? How long have you been in the city? “

"Jiangsu. Come here for two or three months. Xiao asked for directions and answered truthfully.

"According to the information within our system, you have traveled to many cities in China in the past few years, but you have never stayed in one place for more than half a year. What do you do? What is the profession? Xie Rui leaned forward, his eyes as sharp as a knife staring at Xiao Wenzhi, as if to see through his heart.

Xiao asked for directions and had nothing to answer. In the middle of the stalemate, someone suddenly knocked on the door, and a young policeman pushed the door open, beckoned to Xie Rui, and called him out.

Xie Rui walked out in confusion. After a while, he walked in dejectedly: "You can go." “

Xiao asked for directions thinking he had misheard: "Can I go?" Are you done asking? “

Xie Rui raised a thick eyebrow: "What, you don't want to leave yet?" “

Xiao Wenlu walked to the door, and was about to go out, when he suddenly turned around, looked at Xie Rui, and said in a firm tone: "The ring bridge can no longer be used, it must be dismantled immediately!" Please cordon off the area around that bridge immediately and never let anyone approach! “

Xie Rui was about to ask again, but Xiao Wenlu went out like a gust of wind. Xie Rui stared at his back with a puzzled expression.

As soon as Xiao Wenlu walked out of the gate of the police station, he bumped into an acquaintance. The poker-faced shopkeeper in sunglasses leaned against the pickup truck, staring at him all the time, and Xiao Lili was sitting in the car.

Xiao Wenlu was full of question marks: "Boss? Why are you here? “

"I'm not here, can you still get out?" The shopkeeper has a "you're an idiot" expression.

"But ......"

"Don't." The shopkeeper interrupted Xiao to ask for directions. "You and your son go about your business, and come back to work when you're done. From today, the store is temporarily closed! “

After speaking, he left without looking back, leaving Xiao with a blindfolded face to ask for directions.

Xiao Lili poked his little head out of the car window: "Hey, can't you get in the car?" “

Xiao asked for directions and had to get into the car. He grabbed the steering wheel and said, "Grain, sit tight, let's go and visit the big boss!" “

The pickup truck drove towards the office building of the "15th Engineering Bureau".
